Diary of a Fifth Grade Bully: The Inside Story (Book 1, #1) / Book 1 (ePub)

If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries, you'll love Diary of a Fifth Grade Bully! Meet the newest bully on the block, Dewey Shoemaker. Except according to Dewey, he's not a bully at all.

In book one of this debut series, Dewey Shoemaker is anything but a normal ten-year-old kid. After all, it's hard to be normal when your dad has a million and one demands, and your mom collects creepy porcelain dolls. It doesn't help that Dewey can't seem to stay out of trouble at school. He's pretty sure his teacher Mrs. Stapleton has it out for him. Worse still, somewhere along the way Dewey was called a bully, and it stuck.

Dewey's mission, if he chooses to accept it, is to prove them all wrong. But it's a lot harder than he thought, especially when his best friends - Stinky, Slinky, and Zora- aren't always there when he needs them. Not a lot of people are interested in hearing a "bully's" side of the story.

Until now.

A diary is the perfect solution! As Dewey writes in one entry, "If they won't listen, I'll write it instead. People are more willing to read books than to hear someone talk." At least that's how he feels when he's sitting in Mrs. Stapleton's class.

Will Dewey be able to convince everyone he's not the bully they think he is? Diary of a Fifth Grade Bully introduces a new type of hero who embodies the challenges of being a kid in today's tough environment. With a little understanding and a lot of self-awareness, readers will learn from Dewey how to identify and deal with bullying in this humorous, relevant, entertaining series that will keep young readers hooked on books.
